Seafood risotto

Mon, 03 Jun 2002 20:50:50 -0400

This is based on a recipe in the Omaha paper from an Irish priest (See, we Irish can cook!) I changed it to suit my tastes better - obviously, the types of seafood you use is easily altered to fit your tastes. -- posted by ChrisMc

Paella Panamanian Style

Mon, 24 Jun 2002 21:03:40 -0400

Regional style fish meat and rice dish. Unlike it's Spain counter part this recipe is flavored with tomato rather than saffron making it quite different. Any good Mexican pork sausage would do for the Panamanian, and if you can't find a Spanish pork sausage, try an andouille sausage, Italian sausage or chorizo combinations. Anything except American breakfast sausage! -- posted by 1Steve

Shhhhh - Memorable Stuffed Squids!

Wed, 18 Dec 2002 20:05:10 -0500

This is an excellent Orange Marmalade Sauce which I use for Calamari. It tastes just like the Outback sauce they use on their Coconut Shrimp! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! -- posted by Bev

Herbed Habanero Dip for Calamari

Mon, 10 Mar 2003 20:06:34 -0500

Calamari Steaks

Mon, 19 Jan 2004 20:00:00 -0500

We love Calarami Steaks, this is my recipe that I have been making for Years & Years. They cook fast do not over cook. I usually cook them after we have had our salad, and have everything else ready. Enjoy. -- posted by Barb Gertz

Pan-Fried Calamari Rings

Mon, 05 Jul 2004 20:00:17 -0400

I threw this together tonight when another appy I planned to make fell through. SO fattening, but oh, my goodness, so worth it!! I served this with Mean Chef's Aioli (#54833). -- posted by spatchcock

Fish Stew

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 19:57:21 -0500

I've served this dish many ways. Spoon it into bowls over thick pieces of garlic bread (best) or serve it over cooked rice. I've also made a tomato sauce and added this variety of fish to it and served it over linguine or rice. -- posted by mermaidmagic

Calamari Salad

Tue, 12 Apr 2005 16:41:01 -0400

From Gourmet magazine comes this wonderful calamari salad and although it is delicious eaten right after preparation, its even better if you allow it to chill for 8 hours in the refrigerator then bring it to room temperature for serving. -- posted by Julesong

Gambas Al Ajillo (Shrimp W/ Garlic) Catalonia

Tue, 21 Jun 2005 22:33:30 -0400

While this is usually served as a tapa, it is too good not to eat as a main course. After trying the ones that were posted here on Zaar, I found myself still searching for the gambas we had in Barcelona. Finally I found the recipe with the flavor and creaminess of the dish we fell in love with in Spain! The same dish can be made with squid, cut into rings, or scallops. Serve with lots of warm crusty bread to sop up the sauce. You will not want to waste a drop! (Make sure you are "warming" the olive oil and the butter, not cooking it off..... cause you'll want every last bit of it for the sauce) -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Wok Tossed Coriander/Basil Squid

Mon, 28 Nov 2005 20:37:17 -0500

I love these flavours conbined with the delicate flavor of squid which is dusted in seasoned cornflour before going into the work to brown before adding the sauce! -- posted by djmastermum

Breaded Calamari Steaks

Mon, 10 Apr 2006 20:40:07 -0400

This is a very simple but delicious recipe for calamari steaks. Be careful though - they cook exceedingly fast. Make sure you have the rest of the meal ready and on the table before you cook the steaks. -- posted by ChefMarvelIris

Summer Seafood Ceviche

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 14:07:56 -0400

My favorite low-cal dish. I fell in love with this on vacation in Puerto Vallarta at the LeKliff restaurant. They served it in the shell of a coconut. Cool, spicy, light, fresh and delish! Not to mention low-cal, high protein, low carb and low fat! Measurements aren't exact and cooking time is chilling time. This is not traditional as I don't live near an ocean so I precook my seafood.. but you can cook the seafood by soaking in the lime juice for an hour if you prefer. -- posted by Not-2-Sweet

Chilli, Salt and Pepper Squid

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 22:54:59 -0400

This classic Cantonese starter is simple to make, but for real success, there are a couple of rules you need to follow. Most important: always use clean oil for your deep-frying. The resulting batter will be crisp, crunchy and light, as opposed to heavy, greasy and 'dirty' in flavour. And be sure to serve it immediately: this dish is best eaten piping hot. -- posted by English_Rose

Linguine With Calamari and Garlic

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 00:51:17 -0400

I used to make this all the time and I'd forgotten all about it. This recipe is delicious. You can easily double this if you want to. It makes a great dinner, but also a great 1st course if you have company coming. Takes just minutes to make. It's from 1996 Bon Appetit. I'd serve it with garlic bread and a nice mixed salad. You are going to need to reserve some of the pasta water, so don't forget! ;-) -- posted by A la Carte

Moro's Arroz a La Marinara

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 19:47:54 -0400

Spanish fish dish from Sam and Sam Clarke of London's Moro restaurant. It sounds lovely and is a little different than other dishes of the same ilk. Found in Olive Magazine, June 2005 edition. (Paella of a sort)If we & when make this type of dish, we don't use squid. -- posted by Manami

J. Baldwin's Calamari With Beurre Blanc Sauce:

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 02:09:40 -0400

I am a calamari lover !!! I begged Jeff for years to make this in his culinary classes but it took him 2 years to finally give it up. This is the best calamari you will ever eat and I am SO glad I can finally make it at home and impress friends and family. Thanks Jeff !!! When I cannot find calamari steaks, I buy a 10 oz box of Trader Joe's lightly breaded calamari rings and it is still awesome .. Enjoy !!! -- posted by pollyw

Crispy Squid With Capers

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:13:27 -0400

Very easy addition to a tapas evening, or just on its own as a snack. The crispy capers themselves are quite lovely! Serve with garlic mayo and lemon wedges. To clean the squid, firstly remove the solid clear shaft running from the head to the end of the body. Pull the head away from the body slowly but firmly to remove the innards. Wash the body under running water - if there's any dark skin, this can usually be rubbed off, but dont worry to much if it sticks. Cut the head just below the eyes, retaining the tentacles, which can be used in the dish, but discard the rest of the head and innards. -- posted by Snowbunny Andorra

Thai Dried Squid (Calamari)

Wed, 28 May 2008 01:38:34 -0400

This came from the book "Thai Food" by David Thompson where he indicates if it is to be deep-fried it should be completely dry otherwise it will shrink and toughen. He also says it will keep for a few days if refrigerated. This recipe is how I prepared the dish using an oven for drying rather than leaving in the sun. Note it requires overnight marination (not included in prep time) and quite a bit of drying time. Makes an interesting snack although it is quite salty & chewy so won't be to everyone's taste. -- posted by Peter J

An appetizing first course from the flavor center of the universe, Louisiana. Courtesy of Chef Fernando Saracchi of Ristorante Bacco, featured in The Louisiana New Garde television series.
